Information

TOOLS

  • Espresso machine
  • Coffee
  • Windmill
  • Scale
  • Double basket or filter holder
  • Tamper
  • Minute
  • Small cup

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Remove the portafilter from the group head of the espresso machine and place it on a tared scale.
  • Purge the group head with water to make sure it is completely clean and clear.
  • Grind 18-22 gr of coffee in the basket.
  • Adjust your grind to fine powder.
  • Run your finger across the coffee to distribute it evenly, from left to right, then front to back.
  • Handle the coffee by handling the portafilter on a clean, flat surface. Not too hard, just enough to seal the coffee evenly. Then turn the tamper to smooth the floors. This aids in extraction.
  • Place the portafilter at the head of the group and start firing the shot. It will start with a slow trickle that will turn into a smooth stream. At approximately 30 seconds, the extraction will begin to come to an end and the transmission will turn "blonde" or turn yellow. Stop the shot at this point.
